    Finally got the 17" Cragars on the 65 GS. Something totally new for me, always had 15's.

    I don't venture north of 15".rims but your car looks awesome! Love the look, hope the ride isn't too rough.

    So far I am impressed with the the ride. I struggled with the decision to go bigger than 15's too for quite a while so I know what you mean. I am keeping the 15's on the 66's.

    Those were on my short list when I was wheel shopping. I really like the look of the 17" Cragars on your car.

    Great choice. I too looked for a few years before I decided in my choice.

    Also my first 17 inch wheels. I get many compliments on my selection. Which is kinda like a craeger but with a twist. Sharp spokes.

    Ride and wear em out pal!!! Enjoy. Your car is beautiful.

    Mind if I ask the wheel offsets and what size tires you got to clear?

    Wheels have 4.25" BS front, 4.5" BS rear. I do have a slight rub in the front when cranked all the way but will figure that out.

    Wheels and tires have been on for a few months now and the ride is good. I have not had any rubbing issues after replacing aged springs. Overall very happy with the Cragars and Coopers!

    Were the wheels special order or off the shelf? I have a 64 riviera i am getting ready to get wheels for myself and thought i might go a similar route.
